Transit partnership seeks sustainable options Alistair waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
While it’s not the start of a move towards a regional transit authority for the Central Okanagan, area municipalities appear ready to join forces when it comes to planning for transit and transportation. Kelowna city council has approved a plan to develop what it is calling a sustainable trans-
portation partnership with Lake Country, West Kelowna, the Westbank First Nation, Peachland and the regional district. According to Ron Westlake, the city’s director of regional programs, the partnership would put together a regional strategic transportation plan, have an inter-municipal advisory board, discuss issues, priorities and processes, as well as roll out regional programs and
partner with the province. Westlake said it will start with the mayors, the WFN chief and their respective chief administrative officers working together. Kelowna Coun. Robert Hobson, who is also the chair of the Central Okanagan regional district’s board, said the move is aimed at giving the region more autonomy when it comes to transportation issues, including
transit, and will help with planning a transportation system that serves the entire area, not just individual municipalities. He said while the initial budget for the project will be small—less than $200,000— there will be a three-year commitment from the partners. At first, the partners will use money they get from transportation demand management. Kelowna council was the
first to have the plan formally presented to it. The other three councils and the WFN band council, as well as the regional board, will also have to ratify the plan. The City of Kelowna, through Westlake, already handles much of the regional planning for transit, but Hobson said following a decision by West

What’s your chocolate ice cream? The question, posed by Dr. Carole Robinson, initially seemed out of place when asked during a health forum—focused on death and dying—at UBC Okanagan last Saturday. Robinson began her speech by reminding the crowd that children tend to fight. “When you get sick, that invites (children) to fight. They’re anxious, they’re stressed and each thinks they know you best,” said Robinson. “I’m going to ask you to think about, in advance, what your wishes are and to give direction to your children. It will help them not fight.” She told a story about Dr. Susan Block, co-director of the Harvard Centre for Palliative Care. Years ago, Block’s father was admitted to a San Francisco hospital. He had symptoms that were diagnosed as being related to a tumour that was growing on his spinal cord in his neck. The night before her father’s surgery, Block tried to avoid talking about it.

▼ AGRI-TOURISM
Connecting local farmers and chefs Barry Gerding MANAGING EDITOR
Tourism Kelowna wants to strengthen the supply lines between area farmers and local restaurants. Tourism Kelowna and the provincial government announced that $100,000 in matched funds will be used to promote and grow the Farm To Table program, increase tourist awareness of the program and improve its interactive website “An estimated 1.5 million people from all over the world visit Kelowna annually, many of whom will visit a local farm or orchard, tour a local winery, or dine at a local restaurant,” said Kelowna-Lake Country MLA
Norm Letnick. “The Farm To Table program is an excellent way to match producers with restaurants and chefs and will offer a very enjoyable way for people to discover where their food comes from.” One of the goals of the Farm To Table program will be to grow word-ofmouth and awareness of Kelowna as a centre of agri-tourism from both a local and tourist perspective. “There is a growing curiosity in farmgate experiences and fascination with the closeness of the supply chain in Kelowna, which we are working hard to build on,” said Nancy Cameron, president and chief executive officer of Tourism Kelow-
na, which represents more than 300 tourism businesses with the Regional District of Central Okanagan, the City of Kelowna and District of Lake Country. Helen Kennedy, owner of Arlo’s Honey Farm in southeast Kelowna, said she welcomes the funding boost to help the agri-tourism industry in the Central Okanagan. Kennedy said it’s a “win-win situation” because it enables further education opportunities for local residents to learn what produce and other food can be purchased in their own community backyard. “That is becoming a bigger part of the Okanagan experience for tourists as well,” she said
Kennedy said while golf and wine tours remain popular activities for tourists, families are also looking for other activities for the kids to be involved in. “What we hear from tourists during the summer is how great it is for people to come to our farm as a family activity, especially when the weather isn’t that great on a given day,” she said. Rod Butter, owner of RauDZ Restaurant in downtown Kelowna, said the goals of the Farm Gate program coincide with his desire to buy local whenever possible for his restaurant. “I’ve been pushing this for awhile now but many other restaurants are beginning to pick up on it
as well. And the mandate of our chef association, with some 160 members, is to buy local first whenever possible,” Butters said. He added that one major step forward would also be for the Kelowna Farmer’s Market to have a permanent site, as it again provides an opportunity for chefs and farmers to come together and develop stronger business ties. “Buying local is not just the right thing to do, it’s good business,” Butters said. In 2011, Kelowna’s tourism industry generated $279 million in visitor spending. bgerding @kelownacapnews.com

Trial sidetracked by accused’s guilty plea Cheryl Wierda CONTRIBUTOR
The man who shot at police and kidnapped a man following a robbery in late 2011 has pleaded guilty to some of the charges against him. Devan Markcus Wong, now in his early 20s, appeared via video in a Kelowna courtroom on what was to be the first day of his trial on Monday and pleaded guilty to kidnapping with a restricted firearm, using a restricted firearm to commit robbery of two people at Premier Jewelry and Loan, covering his face with the

Two months later, Wong, a Surrey resident, turned himself in to police. A pre-sentence report has been ordered for Wong, who returns to court May 13. Three other charges Wong faces in connection to events on Dec. 6, 2011, were not dealt with on Monday. It is likely they will be stayed following sentencing.

cil meeting. “I’m more encouraged than ever,” Last month, the thenboard of Ballet Kelowna announced it was pulling the plug on the well-regarded dance troupe prior to the end of its season because of a lack of money. Ballet Kelowna has

An Okanagan man whose dog was killed by a driver who refused to help save the animal says media attention won him attention from police. Lloyd Manchester was walking his dog by the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club a month ago when a man in a blue SUV backed out of a parking stall, running the pair over. The animal, a 12-yearold medium-sized dog named Jake, was badly injured, but when Manchester asked the driver for assistance getting him to a vet, he was told the vehicle was worth $70,000, too much to risk putting the injured dog inside. “He said he would return with a vet, jumped back in (his SUV) and sped off, almost hitting us again,” said Manchester, whose foot was also injured badly enough that it is still oozing blood. The driver never returned. The incident took place on Thursday, Feb. 28, at 4 p.m. Although it was reported to police, Manchester said he was not getting much response until he went to the media with the story. Once the tale surfaced, he was told the RCMP would be releasing a statement to the press within a day; and the press release went out Monday afternoon. “Now I’m very happy with the response,” said Manchester, noting he really believes the driver can be caught if people who were in the area are notified. Jake managed to survive the night after his accident, but as he suffered severe internal injuries, he died the next day. Meantime, Manchester had his foot x-rayed

LLOYD Manchester and his dog, Jake, in front of Okanagan Lake. Jake was killed by a hit-and-run driver who refused to help him because he might get his $70,000 vehicle dirty. and, while there were no broken bones, there was enough of a compression injury that he has been bleeding for most of a month from the wound.

Facing the difficult talk about dying Gaming grants doled out to non-profit groups Forum from A1
WADE PATERSON/CAPITAL NEWS
DR. CAROLE ROBINSON talks about the
importance of family conversations regarding death during a health forum last Saturday at UBC Okanagan. watch football, despite the fact they had a close a relationship. “It teaches us we can’t assume to know what is most important, even for the people we love dearly.” Block’s father made it through the surgery, but he was bleeding into his spinal cord and more surgery was required to save him. His future looked grim, but rather than make up her own mind, Block asked the doctors whether her dad would be able to eat chocolate ice cream and watch football if he survived. The answer was yes, so she gave them the green light.
Her father had a difficult recovery, but he went on to live 10 more years. During that time he wrote two books and 12 scholarly articles, and watched plenty of football while eating chocolate ice cream. Robinson said Block didn’t have to make the decision, because her father did; therefore, she didn’t have to live with any guilt. “If you do nothing other than this one thing when you leave this room, I want you to figure out what your chocolate ice cream is. Then I would like you to start a conversation with your family— give them direction, it will strengthen the bonds, dis-

She left the hospital that evening after the two had a more general conversation about family and friends. “She’d been named his proxy decision-maker. What that means is she had been designated the person who would speak for him, if he couldn’t speak for himself. “She got halfway across the Bay Bridge and she realized that she didn’t know what her dad wanted.” Block turned around and went back to the hospital. Robinson explained it was uncomfortable for Block to go back, and when she did she had an “agonizing conversation with her dad.” She asked him questions about what was most important to him to be alive, what he was willing to tolerate to be alive and what level of being alive was important to him. “The answer he gave her knocked her socks off. “He said, ‘As long as I can eat chocolate ice cream and I can watch football on TV, I’m willing to endure a lot of pain for a good shot at that.’” Robinson said Block had never seen her father
rupt the fighting and relieve the burden.” Saturday’s forum was the fifth in a health series that has been offered by Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick since last year. He said the topic of death and dying is one of interest to him, noting he’s had experience trying to comfort close friends who knew their days were numbered. “Maybe by sharing some questions and answers, we can be better prepared for when, eventually, we all die,” said Letnick. Letnick was joined by Robinson and Drs. Barbara Pesut, Hal Siden and Kelowna lawyer Ross Langford. Pesut spoke about what death looks like. “Conversations about death and dying are very difficult, but necessary,” said Pesut. She talked about ways people can have “a good death.” The first was impeccable symptom management. “It’s not uncommon to have difficult symptoms at the end of life: Pain, breathlessness, nausea and vomiting,” Pesut said. “Our goal is to try and anticipate what those symptoms might be and manage them as much as possible.” Pesut said it’s also important to give the dying individual plenty of support, as much control and choice as possible, dignity and privacy, and final wishes. wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com

Twenty-one local non-profit organizations will share in just under $978,000 following an announcement Monday of community gaming grants by the area’s three MLAs. Ben Stewart, Steve Thomson, and Norm Letnick hosted representatives of 20 of the organizations at a morning reception to make the announcement. Following the reception, they went to the Kelowna YM-YWCA to present it with the largest of the grants, $175,000. “Many of our local organizations consist of dedicated volunteers, without which, our community wouldn’t be the same,” said Stewart, MLA for Westside-Kelowna. “These gaming grants are a great way for the government to support our local groups who do so much for us.” He said across Canada, volunteers contribute time each year equivalent to one million jobs. The provincial gaming grants help local groups

a regional transit commission for here similar to the one that exists in Victoria. But the plan was rejected because of concerns about the cost to the municipalities, the ability for it to raise money and the fact that all modes of transportation needed to be addressed, not just transit. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

provide services and any amount, no matter how small, mean a lot to the recipients. Jordan McAlpine, of Inn From The Cold, a Kelowna organization that helps the homeless, said the $24,000 her group received will play a big part in its operations. “It allows us to do what we do,” she said. The grant to Inn From The Cold will help fund its home support program, she said. The grants also help more than just the groups that get the actual grants. Lally Grauer of St. Michaels and All Angels Cathedral Cupboard, a group that operates out of the Kelowna church to provide food on an emergency basis for those in need, said her program compliments larger food programs like the Kelowna Community Food Bank and Inn From The Cold by offering food on days when the other programs do not distribute

food. The church’s food program received a $5,000 grant this year. Letnick said after seeing gaming grants cut during the recent recession because of the financial constraints on government, he was happy to see them restored. “This is more than an announcement of nearly $980,000. It’s an investment in the local programs and services that makes this such a great place to live,” said the Kelowna-Lake Country MLA. Thomson noted the wide variety of groups receiving grants here. “From childcare and seniors groups, to emergency shelters and counselling, these organizations make a wide variety of contributions in our region, he said. Community Gaming Grants allow non-profit organizations to apply for provincial gaming revenues. In 2011-12, the government distributed a total of $135 million in gaming grants to more than 5,300 community groups.

The distillery also received the Distillery of the Year and Spirit of the Year honours. “This level of recognition puts us along side a very elite group of world class distillers who are the superstars of the industry,” said Okanagan Spirits master distiller Peter von Hahn.
In order to achieve the World Class designation, Okanagan Spirits required a gold medal sweep in five judging categories for five different spirit entries. “I had previously stated that we needed to dream big to achieve success at an awards event of this calibre, and I guess that big dream came true…,” von Hahn said.

NEWS ▼ OKANAGAN COLLEGE
Kelowna campus generates buzz over electric car chargers Interest is growing now that Okanagan College is about to become a hub for sustainable travel throughout the valley with the installation of electric car charging stations available at each of its campuses. “I think it’s very innovative and progressive of the college to be doing this,” said Megan Wood, who stopped to check on the installation when she dropped her friend Maria Marsh off for class. Marsh, who is taking her environmental studies diploma at the Kelowna campus, agreed. “I think not having a car is probably the best option, but if you are going to drive, I think having an electric car is definitely the right direction to go.” Allan Becker, who works in facilities management at the college and is overseeing the installations, said he’s been surprised how much interest the new charging stations are generating. “I’ve had about half a dozen people come by and ask about them,” he said. “There seems to be a lot of interest out there.” A total of 10 charging stations are being installed between now and March 31, with four at the Kelowna campus, and two at each of the campuses in Penticton, Vernon and Salmon Arm, said Okanagan College Energy Specialist Rob St. Onge. The charging stations will be available to the public at the same rate as visitor parking fees. “It’s our responsibility as a college to foster a culture of sustainable transportation,” St. Onge said. “Installing these charging stations is just one of the things we’re doing to encourage people to think differently about transportation.”
‘‘
WHAT WE’RE DOING HERE IS NOT ONLY INVESTING IN CLEAN ENERGY FOR THE FUTURE, BUT BY HAVING THESE CHARGE STATIONS, WE’RE ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO REALLY QUESTION THEIR TRANSPORTATION CHOICES… Rob St. Onge, OC energy specialist
Okanagan College was one of the first colleges in B.C. to sign up for the initiation, which is part of the B.C. Ministry of Environment’s $2.7-million Community Charging Infrastructure (CCI) Fund and administered by the Fraser Basin Council. The aim is to have 570 charging stations installed provincewide. Through the program, the province pays up to $4,000 per station with the college investing the remainder of the cost—at approximately $1,000 per unit. Once in place, students, staff and members of the public will have plug-in access to the charging stations, which are all conveniently located at the campus entrances. It typically takes four hours for a full-charge, but batteries can be partially recharged for shorter time periods without any loss to battery power. St. Onge said while use of electric and hybrid vehicles contribute to the overall strategy to reduce the college’s carbon footprint, the most effective options are still to use public transit, cycle or carpool. “What we’re doing here is not only investing in clean energy for the future, but by having these charge stations, we’re encouraging people to really question their transportation choices, and consider what they might want to do differently,” he said.
Drew Petrie is well on the road himself to doing things differently. He works at the college and plans to charge his car at the Kelowna campus once he wraps up

converting his used VW Cabrio. “I think this is awesome,” he said. “It’s important that people see cars charging on campus, so they realize that you can travel around without any problems.” The college also promotes sustainability by providing designated parking for hybrid vehicles and car pool spaces for both students and staff. Some of the most popular electric cars on the road today are the Prius Hybrid, Nissan Leaf and the Chevrolet Volt,
with single battery travel ranging from 18 km to 169 km. According to the B.C. Ministry of Environment, battery-powered electric vehicles can cost as little as $300 per year in electricity bills compare to upward of $1,500 to fuel a gas-powered car. The electric car charging stations is one of a number of initiatives being implemented at the Kelowna campus. Other initiatives include working with Okanagan Car Share Coop on providing parking

▼ LEGAL SYSTEM
Keeping authority of tribunals in check is society’s task I don’t know if the downloading by government of the regulation of our lives to administrative bodies is a uniquely Canadian state of affairs. It certainly has, however, become characteristic of our legal system and it’s something that can be a cause for concern. In the employment world, for instance, just about every aspect of the working relationship is governed by one administrative body or another. In B.C. we have WorkSafeBC, the Employment Standards Branch, the Labour Relations Board, the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner, and the Human Rights Tribunal to name a handful. These bodies carry out statutory mandates to regulate various aspects of the employment relation-

Robert Smithson ship and, in a quasi-judicial fashion, to adjudicate disputes between employers and employees. When they “stay between the lines” of their governing statute, I can’t say they cause me any real concern, aside from a general worry about the over-intrusiveness of government into our private lives, but that’s a topic for another day. Now and then, these administrative bodies quite plainly act to expand their jurisdiction and that’s when my spidey sense starts tingling. Just such an example
occurred recently in Ontario. In December 2007, a guest drowned in an unattended pool at the Blue Mountain ski resort. No workers were present in the vicinity of the pool at the time of the drowning and the guest was not in any way employed by the resort. A few months later, an occupational health and safety inspector issued an order stating that the resort had failed, as required, to notify an inspector of the fatality. This order would surely have come as quite a surprise to the resort as there were no employees involved in the incident. The resort appealed that order and an Ontario Labour Relations Board representative dismissed its appeal, finding that the drowning of a guest triggered the resort’s report-

The Supreme Court characterized the tribunal’s decision as “not based on reason and principle, and…therefore, arbitrary.” It stated that the effect of the tribunal’s decision was to tip human rights analysis “on its head” and to “pound another nail into the coffin of common sense.” B.C.’s Court of Appeal later agreed. These are two instances in which the decision of an administrative tribunal has plainly had the effect of expanding the scope of its jurisdiction. Thankfully, there were people out there who were willing to spend their own time and money to overturn these inappropriate extensions of statutory authority.

ing that injuries were not likely to have resulted from the collision and, thereby, was discriminating against him. In the ensuing words of B.C.’s Human Rights Tribunal, ICBC put claims into the LVI stream “not because it perceives them as injured and therefore disabled, but, to the contrary, because it perceives them as not injured, or less likely to be injured, and therefore, not disabled or less likely to be disabled.” The tribunal asked itself if that perception of someone as not being disabled, or less likely to be disabled, could be discrimination under the code. It determined that this could amount to discrimination. ICBC appealed that decision to Supreme Court of B.C. The court overturned the tribunal’s findings, stating emphatically that a perception that a person does not have a disability does not constitute discrimination against that person.

doesn’t it? In 2004, Rex Yuan was involved in a traffic accident when another vehicle struck the rear of his vehicle at a red light. Yuan filed a claim with the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC), asserting that, as a result of the accident, he suffered soft tissue injuries to his neck and shoulder. Because the other vehicle was determined to have been traveling at a very low speed when it struck Yuan’s car, his claim was adjudicated pursuant to ICBC’s low velocity impact (LVI) guidelines. Those guidelines presumed that a low-velocity accident victim is less likely to sustain injuries. ICBC rejected Yuan’s claim and he responded by filing a complaint against ICBC of discrimination pursuant to the B.C. Human Rights Code. The essence of Yuan’s complaint was that, by slotting him into the expedited LVI claim stream, ICBC was pre-determin-

ing obligation. The resort applied for judicial review of that decision and the Ontario Divisional Court repeated the board’s finding. The resort again appealed and, finally, plain old reason and common sense seemed to prevail. The Ontario Court of Appeal determined that the earlier interpretations of the law would “lead to the absurd conclusion that every death or critical injury to anyone, anywhere, whatever the cause, must be reported (to an occupational health and safety inspector.” The court repeated the oft-applied legal maxim that statutes should be interpreted in a way that avoids absurd results. This case, which thankfully ended up with an appropriate outcome, reminds me of one involving B.C.’s Human Rights Tribunal a few years back. In that case, B.C.’s Court of Appeal eventually upheld the premise that perceiving a person to not have a disability does not constitute discrimination. Seems obvious,

BUSINESS ▼ ENTREPRENEURS
Offering a direction for Okanagan economic prosperity E ‘‘ ncouraging the entrepreneurial spirit is a key to creating jobs and improving the competitiveness and economic growth throughout the Okanagan. Although some may argue that variables like the number of new startups or the psychological attitude of our regional population towards self employment may be influenced by a number of different factors, there is unquestionably a cultural aspect that needs to be taken into account. The image of entrepreneurs as positive role models has never been as strong in Canada as in the U.S. Becoming an entrepreneur at times has been seen as an unsafe and risky option, not particularly appealing and less socially rewarding than other, more traditional professions and careers. The educational systems have not, in the past, been geared towards the development of entrepreneurship and the self employment option. The education path has led more towards producing employees for a big company or government administration. However, over the last number of years the game has changed dramatically. There is a growing awareness in Canada that multi-faceted initiatives should be, must be developed in order to promote an entrepreneurial culture, to encourage risk
taking, creativity and innovation. Entrepreneurship has been rekindled as an engine and basis for socio-economic growth—reach out folks because it is here to stay. The Okanagan region and our province overall needs to foster the entrepreneurial drive on a more aggressive and thorough basis. It needs more new and thriving firms willing to embark on creative and innovative ventures. Encouraging the entrepreneurial spirit is a key to achieving these objectives. Education can contribute to encouraging entrepreneurship, by fostering the right attitudinal and behavioural mindset, by raising awareness of potential opportunities as an entrepreneur or a self-employed person, and providing the right venture creation skills. When we speak of creating an entrepreneurial culture in the valley, we first must recognize that entrepreneurial skills and attitudes provide benefits to our regional society, even beyond their application to new venture/business activities. Personal qualities that are relevant to entrepreneurship, such as creativity and a spirit of initiative, can be useful to absolutely everyone in their
ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT
Joel Young working activity and daily life. However, we have not yet led to making entrepreneurship a common feature or a widespread subject in our education system. Nor has the training of our teachers on how to bring the concept of entrepreneurship into the classroom been sufficiently explored. Also, the establishment of indicators and the collection of qualitative and quantitative data in this field is still lacking as it pertains to our region. That makes it difficult to monitor any progress that may be achieved. So only by working together, the clarity toward the creation of an Okanagan Valley entrepreneurship culture will be our collective legacy to creating more jobs and improving economic growth and prosperity for the many years to come. Creating an entrepreneurial culture is about instilling a way of thinking, acting and believing. It is not that difficult but it doesn’t happen just because we may include
“we will be entrepreneurs” in our vocabulary. An entrepreneurial culture is created to a significant degree by our collaborative spirit and leadership. The most effective entrepreneurial leaders set the tone toward a cultural creation are those who merely set a good example toward what our world may become under the guise of an entrepreneurial culture environment. So I ask you to please embrace the notion that in an entrepreneurial culture—work is more than a job, it’s a lifestyle. As a family of like-minded, committed individuals who embrace the meaning of attitude and innovative behaviour, we can make a difference together. *** I am amazed at the attitudinal changes that I have experienced through this column and our Okanagan Entrepreneurs Society and the valley-wide entrepreneurship strategy development initiative currently underway. More people from all walks of life and varying ages tell me they experience an “aha” moment when exposed to entrepreneurship knowledge and information. What a joy it is to provide that inspiration. After spending a day recently with Grade 9 stu-
dents in a junior achievement program in West Kelowna, I couldn’t help myself and lectured a bit about entrepreneurship. When I asked the class, kids in the 14 to 15 year old age range, who knows what an entrepreneur is, four students raised their hands and their replies were impressive. Wow! Lesson learned Okanagan: We can instill the joy and benefit of the entrepreneurial spirit from the middle schools to the seniors homes; from the university dorms to the sales staff at our retailers and to large and small companies alike. Why? Because at the end of the day entrepreneurship is thinking, acting and believing in looking at the world and thinking differently and discovering solutions instead of problems in our society’s marketplace. Forming a regional entrepreneurial network will invariably prompt the formation of an entrepreneurial culture, and an integrated regional agenda will become critical in this regard. For such a network to work will require entrepreneurs and organizations to work together in unison to form a network of substance. Such a network is a set of entrepreneurs, organizations and regional cit-
izens forming a collaborative blend to ensure that entrepreneurs get the support they need to launch and achieve success with their entrepreneurial venture pursuit. I am inspired by the concept of such a network as its purpose is both timely and relevant to our Okanagan socio-economic future at a time when there remains mixed thoughts about we are headed as a region. For despite the wonderful development and planning we lay witness to, there remains an element of doubt by naysayers about out future and growth. The realization of an regional entrepreneurial culture via an substantive entrepreneurial network will see: • a gathering of information from entrepreneurs about their needs and opportunities, and then assist them, often by developing new services to meet such needs • setting up training programs for people to learn about entrepreneurship and its personal and

Pipelines a political dilemma
T
he political battles over oil and gas pipelines continue to heat up. Here in B.C., the Enbridge Northern Gateway project has become a political football, with the additional sidebar thrown in of a proposal to build a multi-billion oil refinery in Kitimat complicating the issue. The pipeline project may yet be an issue in our provincial election campaign if Premier Christy Clark takes a definitive stand in favour of the project, which NDP leader Adriane Dix

But an even higher stakes game is being played out over the fate of the Keystone XL pipeline, a $7-billion project that would send bitumen from the Alberta tar sands through six U.S. states to refineries on the Gulf Coast.

Election writ a month away but campaign is already underway
I
f, for some strange reason, you did not know we have a provincial election coming up, stay tuned to local newspapers, television, radio stations and the Internet. You are about to bombarded with political advertising masquerading as news. In fairness to this area’s trio of Liberal MLAs, Steve Thomson, Norm Letnick and Ben Stewart, the announcements they have already started trotting out are news and are part of keeping the public appraised
of what they, as our elected officials, are up to. But prior to every election, the usually mundane takes on much larger signifiAlistair cance. A case in point. Waters On Monday, all three MLAs showed up to dole out $977,850 to 21 local non-profit groups as part of the government’s gaming revenue grants program. It could have been done with a news release. Given that at least one of the three usually puts in an appearance at such
CITY CONFIDENTIAL
events, seeing them together wasn’t surprising. But these guys are all cabinet ministers and Monday’s appearance was followed hours later by an attempt to eek out more publicity for the same announcement by holding another event at the Kelowna Family Y to point out $175,000 of the funding announced earlier was going to that organization. Two bangs for the same buck. Monday’s appearances followed similar showings by all three at the funding announcement for the city’s Rails With Trails program, followed by another group get together at the opening of the new Service B.C. office downtown an hour later.
The three like to brag about how well they work together. Now they seem joined at the hip. Incumbents, especially those representing a government in power, face advantages and disadvantages when it comes to electioneering. On one hand, they are elected MLAs and get to dole out money and make announcements. But can they also carry the can for the government they represent. An unpopular party can lead to guilt by association. But that won’t stop a self-respecting politician from milking any political advantage they can. After all, unless they are pulling the plug on a political career, they were elected
to get re-elected. Letnick, Thomson and Stewart all know how to play the game and over the next two months they will. And they won’t be alone. Area NDP, B.C. Conservative and Green candidates will do the same. A few weeks ago, NDP leader Adrian Dix showed up here for the 30th time since he was elected leader to chat about his belief the NDP can take seats here from the Liberals. Standing behind him were five of the NDP’s Okanagan candidates. The message was clear. It’s on. The election writ may not drop until April 16 but make no mistake, this campaign is already in full swing. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

▼ HELMETS AND CONCUSSIONS
Conference safety findings misleading To the editor: Recently, researchers at the University of Calgary released statements from the Zurich 2012 Consensus on Concussion conference, which concluded that there was not enough evidence to show that helmets prevent concussion. We are concerned that the media focused primarily on this piece of the report. We would like to add more context to this discussion so that the general public is not left with the impression that helmets are not effective in preventing injury and therefore do not need to be worn. BrainTrust Canada
Association has been working with adults with brain injuries since 1986 here in the Okanagan. We have often been the only support for these individuals and their families, in dealing with the life altering changes that accompany a brain injury. Our organization has seen the heart breaking effects of brain injuries on the lives of hundreds of people, some of whom have sustained their injury through a fall or while participating in a sport without wearing a helmet. A concussion is a change in brain chemistry that impairs brain function. A concussion is a brain injury, and if not
resolved it can lead to permanent damage. A brain injury can happen in an instant but last a lifetime, and unlike other health conditions that resolve, a brain injury is something people live with for decades. We are strong proponents of the use of helmets for youth and adults alike, and know that a properly fitted helmet can absorb force from a crash or a fall and decrease the risk of a serious brain injury by as much as 85 per cent. The thickness of the skull is only about one quarter of an inch and when it comes into contact with something solid such as ice or the sidewalk, offers little protec-
tion to the brain. We applaud the medical community for its focus on brain injuries and concussions, and we are in agreement with recommendations such as encouraging the reduction of contact and violence in sports, with an increased focus on fair play and respect. However, we must continue to advocate for helmet use for all sports where there is significant speed or a hard surface involved, such as biking, skateboarding, in line skating, skiing, or snowboarding. Our not for profit association is proud to collaborate in Kelowna with the city bylaw officers and the
RCMP to offer a Helmet Safety Program, which rewards youth for positive safety behaviour and also provides helmets to those who cannot afford them. We believe that prevention is the only cure and that helmets, along with taking safe vs. foolish risks and knowing your limits, is the best way to mitigate risks and ensure that we all live a long, healthy life.

Seniors’ advocate How to make artists poor legislation is and keep them there found lacking ▼ FUNDRAISERS
To the editor: It appears public gallery art auctions have raised their ugly heads once again in the Okanagan. Why are they ugly? Because the math is as follows: Artists: zero Patrons: Cheap art acquisitions at a fraction of the market value Arts organization: net profit of event Art market: Saturated with ‘cheap’ art. Professional artists, those who make a living from their art and have a post-secondary degree in their field, according to Stats Canada, earn the least in terms of all professions in Canada. The average income is around $20,000 per year. There is nothing more destructive to artists and their market than art auctions. Especially since most are structured so that collectors get art for cheap (often not even a minimum bid), organizations make money for their programs, yet the artist walks away with nothing, except a pat on the back,
sometimes a tax receipt for the donation (which at an income of often below $20,000 per year doesn’t mean much), and the myth that this was an effective marketing tool for them. It is easy to understand why some not-forprofits that are not arts oriented host these auctions, as they are likely ignorant of the fact that this is to the detriment of the artists and the arts in general. They may think incorrectly that they are giving artists a venue to expose their work to an adoring public, who will then continue to scoop up their work by visiting galleries and studios to purchase at market value. It really doesn’t work that way. Why would they, when collectors can continue, year after year, to collect artwork at discount prices, at often less than 20 cents on the dollar. Our preference would be to see art auctions, lending of art and similar practices disappear. We are challenging public art galleries in the Okanagan to champion
artists and their profession by creating policy that rejects these practices as a way to sustain themselves. All not-for-profit organizations, and especially arts organizations, need to send a message that through art auctions and similar events—artists are not only being treated unfairly, they are actually being exploited. As well, artists need to step up to the plate and take responsibility. This can only be achieved one way: Stop donating art! And explain and educate these organizations as to why. We have a form letter we send out when requests for art donations come to us. The letter is polite and explains the rationale for our firm ‘no.’ Let’s stop the ‘bottom feeder’ attitude and make the arts a viable profession.

While I am pleased that the position is being creatof the Central and South ed, without a truly independent advocate and in the abOkanagan / Similkameen sence of other comprehensive action on the part of government to improve seniors’ care, we cannot address the systemic challenges seniors face.

Okanagan College profs make a ruckus with words and Ryga
▼ ACCELERATE OKANAGAN
Word artists of all ages and genres get a chance to experience the randomness of the literary world this Saturday when they collide at Word Ruckus 2013: a Festival of Words & Community. “Word Ruckus is an all-ages literary shin-dig, a pay what you can writerly free-fer-all, a poetic hoe-down and a magical linguistical brouhaha,” said Okanagan College English professor Jake Kennedy, who is organizing Word Ruckus along with fellow writer and English professorial colleague Kevin McPherson Eckhoff. Now in its fifth year, the nine-hour ruckus takes place at the Laurel Packinghouse in Kelowna, starting at 4 p.m. and winding up in the wee hours. The event is sponsored by college with support from the Canada Council for the Arts.

ing them with friends on a monthly calendar planned out basis won the social impact award at the startup competition. Using the tools of social media, Munif’s group developed a prototype business plan for the concept, collected emails of support, created a signup page, fanned out to validate public reaction in support of the concept and developed a presentation for the judges that included a video (www.chefshuffle. com). Munif said for him, the idea came out of his own experience of returning to Kelowna for a holiday at about 5 p.m. and not feeling energized to cook a meal. “You feel the same way when you come about that time from Big White after a day of ski-
ing. The last thing you want to do when you get home is cook a meal,” Munif said. He noted there are businesses that provide meals, but he said the cost is generally close to what you would pay to eat out at a restaurant. “People we talked to seemed really pumped about the idea, so for us it was how to develop a business model that could help organize that service among people,” he said. Munif said as his experience is largely on the software side of technology, he welcomed the opportunity as team leader to learn more about the process of developing a business plan. “I pushed myself to be involved in the business case model, looking at issues such as revenue
streams and target market implementations, so I knew what was going on throughout the project rather than just punching in code for hours on end,” he said. Munif said the contest process, which involved teams of anywhere from five to 12 people, coming together to share ideas and concepts was an invaluable experience for him, one he hopes to repeat again next year. Accelerate Okanagan was created as a hub for developing more high tech companies to startup in the Okanagan. The startup weekend contest culminated a series of events over 10 days that included a presentation by Club Penguins co-founders Lance Priebe and Lane Merrifield.

Grant of $25,000 to help market innovative new apples Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
John Kingsmill expects consumers will come to recognize the ‘Born in B.C. Raised in the Okanagan’ brand of tree fruits, beginning with two new apple varieties bred here in the valley. He was delighted with today’s recognition by the government of B.C. of the innovative approach developed by the Plant Improvement Corporation he is CEO of, in branding and marketing these unique new varieties of fruits—with a $25,000 grant to help promote
them. PICO is owned by the B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association, and its mandate is to manage and commercialize new varieties of fruit developed locally, such as by breeders at the federal Pacific Agri-food Research Centre. It launched the Born in B.C. program last fall and began to promote the new Salish and Aurora Golden Gala varieties of apples, bred at PARC in Summerland. The money comes from a new provincial Buy Local fund that provides matching funding to projects which focus on
encouraging the use of local agricultural products. It’s administered by the Investment Agriculture Foundation of B.C. Provincial agriculture minister Norm Letnick said, “Being from the Okanagan, there’s always a sense of pride when I see our local, high quality fruits being shared with the rest of B.C. and the world. “With an estimated $54 million in farm gate sales in 2012, the B.C. apple industry has much to celebrate and I congratulate PICO on this funding.” Apples and sweet

It’s a mid-season, yellow apple with noteworthy texture and keeping quality. The flavour is described as light, with honey and tropical flavours. Salish is also a Gala and Splendour cross, but it has more of a pinkish-red blush over a yellow background. It has a tangy flavour, is very juicy and crisp.

cherries are the province’s two largest tree fruit crops. The Aurora Golden Gala variety of apple was re-named following a national contest in 2003, replacing its working name of 8S-69-23, but it has ridden a somewhat rocky road since then, partly because growers are challenged to produced unblemished Auroras. Initially, growers planted it because of all the consumer enthusiasm generated by the contest across the country, but when it was discovered there wasn’t yet any quantity of the newly-developed fruit being grown to make it generally available, consumers lost interest.
Who proposes to represent the interests of seniors more effectively could become an election issue between the NDP and Liberals. NDP legislative seniors’ critic Katrine Conroy re-introduced the Representative for Seniors Act last week, what the NDP a stronger and independent seniors advocate bill that would provide real solutions for B.C. seniors. “In order to address the serious issues facing seniors such as elder abuse, neglect and poor treatment at residential facilities, a comprehensive plan is an absolute necessity,” said Conroy. “New Democrats are taking positive steps towards creating an independent seniors’ advocate that would represent seniors in our prov-
1831 Parkview Crescent, Kelowna, BC
ince more thoroughly than under the Liberals proposed legislation.” This is the third time New Democrats have tabled such a bill. In 2007 and 2011, the Liberal government refused to support a bill which would have created an independent officer to advocate on behalf of seniors. Unlike the Liberals’ proposed plan, the NDP’s proposed Representative for Seniors Act would allow an independent representative to advocate on behalf of individual seniors—a crucial amendment that would provide seniors with access to a much-needed complaint process. Speaking during the debate last week on the Liberals’ seniors’ advocate bill proposal in the legislature,
Conroy expressed concern over the government’s record on seniors’ care. “The Ombudsperson’s findings indicate that the ministry of health has, in many cases, failed to fulfil its leadership role for seniors care in our province,” Conroy said. “Given that there is little evidence in the 2013 budget to suggest our government intends to take serious actions on seniors care, we’re concerned that one advocate that is tied to government cannot fill the gap. After the thorough consultation that’s already been done with community and stakeholder organizations, families, and seniors themselves, I’m confident that British Columbians would be better served by (the NDP) plan for an independent seniors’ advocate.”

Check out the art in Cultural District WHAT’S UP DOWNTOWN
Jan Johnson
T
his month on a sunny afternoon, I decided to stroll over and check out the Cultural District. I was happy to discover a unique little neighbourhood of art galleries and shops. Warehouse Gallery, at 1292 Ellis, opened just a few months ago. Owner Stacey Huculiak used to own Tweaked & Yummy Vintage Apparel, where she displayed local art work along with the fashions. She decided to focus on the art and opened her gallery last December. She features local artists who paint in many different styles. Her husband, Steve Huculiak, is one of the featured artists and his work has an intriguing poetic realism. I love his eclose-up paintings of natural subjects like plants -and firelogs. Striking. f Perhaps Stacey’s most orenowned artist is Wanda Lock, whose whimsical colour block paintings in soft colours will also be tfeatured at the Kelowna -airport in May. Another featured painter, Wendy Porter, eis well-known for her scenes of Okanagan sumhmers—think sunbathers -on beaches. - A new artist, Paul Buth d -
vila, airbrushes his canvases for a startlingly realistic style; he’s very popular in Las Vegas, where his work is currently featured in two galleries. The youngest artist featured at the gallery is Liz Dumontet, in her early 20s and who paints striking acrylic montages. Stacey has a great eye for art and has really gathered a beautiful collection of canvases. Right next door at 1294 Ellis St. is Tangerine Trees Photography Gallery, which features stunning landscape photography. I was blown away by the HDR (high dynamic range) images on display; the technique gives the photos an edgy, vibrant and rich magical 3-D quality. Not only do they feature gorgeous photos of local scenes, but you’ll also find international photos with the same magical flair (I especially loved the ones of the Amalfi Coast in Italy and Sedona, Arizona). The photography gallery also has an impressive collection of sports shots and some really fun portraits of children and babies. Hambleton Gallery, 1290 Ellis St., has the distinction of being the first B.C. art gallery established outside the Lower Mainland. Opened 50 years ago, Hambleton likes to say that they were “the first to bring culture to the Okanagan.” Owner Stew Turcotte, an artist himself, tells me that the gallery has grown

THE AIRBRUSH artistry of Paul Butvila is currently
being exhibited at the Warehouse Gallery in downtown Kelowna. to represent over 80 artists from across Canada, ranging from young and emerging talents to older established ones. Their most wellknown artist is Daphne Odjig, who is one of the “Native Group of 7” and is still painting today at the age of 93. Her work is highly regarded all over the world (Picasso actually owned one of her paintings) and she was the first aboriginal woman to have a one-person show at the National Gallery in Ottawa. She puts her own unique spin on native art; her art is also featured in a clothing line at Justin Paul, a few doors away. Other artists featured include Kenna Graf, Jan Crawford, Robert Genn (a West Coast landscape artist influenced by Lauren Harris of the Group of 7), Leona Amann, emerging artist Maryann Hendriks (whose large, splashy floral paintings would brighten any gloomy winter day)…the list is truly incredible. The gallery also represents local sculptors Robert Dow Reid and Geert Maas. Stew tells me that they have a historical art section, and his gallery also does appraisals, cleaning, restoration and
framing. Around the corner from the Ellis galleries (in the back of the same building) are two more wonderful places to appreciate art—Turtle Island Gallery, which features native art and jewelry, and Freestone Spirit Photography, wedding and portrait photography owned by Mark and Sarah Coffey. The Coffeys want to tell your story and preserve it through the art of photography. Mark is also an environmental conservation photographer, meaning his personal photos are purpose-driven; he hopes to raise awareness of different environmental issues by focusing his photos on them. The front part of their gallery features these photos. You can also view them by going to his website at markcoffey.ca. Well, I’m on a “cultural high” now after my visit to all these amazing art galleries. I think I’ll just go have a cappuccino and process it all.

The recommended tree cover for our area is 25 per cent. “Air Wick strongly believes in supporting initiatives that make a difference in our communities, like the City of Kelowna’s NeighbourWoods Program,” said Indresh Kohli, air care marketing director for Reckitt Benckiser. “We look forward to helping the residents of Kelowna continue to grow and preserve their urban forest in 2013 through this contribution—and ensure that future generations can enjoy and benefit from the trees planted.” Friends of and visitors to Air Wick’s Facebook page were asked to vote for what they believed to be the freshest smelling location in Canada over the summer. After outvoting locations such as Tofino, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Quebec City and Algonquin Park, Kelowna was named the winner. Since 2010, residents have purchased 1,400 discounted trees to plant on their properties. This year, 450 trees will be available at a cost of $30/tree, including taxes.

Forty-six West Kelowna residents have told their stories and shared their frustrations with health care services in West Kelowna since an initial call for submissions was put out last month. But the West Kelowna Residents Association knows there are many more people than that who want to see change. Last month, the WKRA asked residents to help identify gaps and problems with existing health care services on the Westside. The residents association has agreed to gather the feedback on behalf of Joanne Konnert, the consultant hired by the District of West Kelowna to prepare a report on the proposed Westside health facility. “I think Ms. Konnert is probably expecting a larger number,” said WKRA director Ron Green. “At the last public meeting we had on the subject, we had 245 people there.” Green said the responses so far have given

The West Kelowna teenager currently on trial for murder will finally tell her version of the events that left one of her peers dead, and turned a quiet Peachland street into a chaotic crime scene. The 18-year-old, whose name is under a publication ban, is alleged to have stabbed Ashlee Hyatt, 16, in her neck after an argument at a June 2, 2010, party. It’s a story that Crown counsel Murray Kaay assembled a number of witnesses to tell from varying angles, but defence lawyer Ingrid Friesen pointed out Friday that none of those viewpoints added up to a complete picture. “You as a jury will be the first to hear her side of the story—she wants very much to tell it,” Friesen told a B.C. Supreme Court jury Friday. “She’s been waiting two years to tell it.” The accused, who defence described as a “new girl trying to fit in at a new school,” has seen her point of view be absent in the last two weeks of trial, as even RCMP officers who dealt with the investigation failed to offer her perspective on what happened that night. What the jury has learned from teen witnesses who were there, however, is that the accused kissed a boy, while her boyfriend was nearby. This apparently upset Hyatt and the two started exchanging verbal barbs, which escalated to further pushing on the street, and eventually Hyatt was fatally wounded. Continuing on with the altercation, however, was the teenage host of the party. The defence has already suggested she was the one who brought the knife to the fight between the accused and Hyatt, and Friday two witnesses took the witness stand to highlight the teenage host’s behaviour in the aftermath and leading up to the fatal altercation. They also called upon George Young, who lives adjacent to the party house, to give testimony. Young testified he was brought into the fray when he heard a teenage boy in the street talking into his cellphone, saying, “It’s going down, it’s going down, it’s happening now.”

he day’s last light was fading and the first flakes of snow were falling outside the window, when a large black bear came ambling down the slope into the flower bed. There he began vigorously digging a hole, tossing plants aside as he went. A loud rap on the window sent him scurrying through the trees to the road, but the damage had been done in the garden. What if someone had come around the corner of the house and surprised that big animal? Others tell of watching as a large black bear ambled up their residential street, systematically exploring every driveway for garbage bins left out or other treats to eat, knocking over bins and laying down in the mess of trash in the road, while chewing on whatever was available.

Injury sidelines captain for playoffs Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTERS
MARISSA BAECKER/SHOOTTHEBREEZE
AN UPPER BODY INJURY will put Kelowna Rockets captain Colton Sissons on the sidelines for most, if not all, of the Western Hockey League playoffs.
Kelowna Rockets Awards The Kelowna Rockets handed out their annual awards Sunday at the Kelowna Community Theatre. The 2012-13 award winners are: • MVP and top defensive forward—Colton Sissons • Top defenceman–Damon Severson • Top rookie and scholastic player—Rourke Chartier • Most sportsmanlike—Zach Franko • Most improved—Tyson Baillie • Unsung hero—Tyrell Goulbourne • Top scorer—Myles Bell (93 points) • Humanitarian Award (Hamilton family)—Myles Bell and Carter Rigby • Plus-minus—Dylen McKinlay (+55)
Rockets playoff schedule Kelowna Rockets vs Seattle Thunderbirds WHL Western Conference quarterfinal Game 1 Friday, March 22 @ Kelowna 7:05 Game 2 Saturday, March 23 @ Kelowna 7:05 Game 3 Tuesday, March 26 @ Seattle 7:05 Game 4 Wednesday, March 27 @ Seattle 7:05 Game 5* Saturday, March 30 @ Kelowna 7:05 Game 6* Tuesday, April 2 @ Seattle 7:05 Game 7* Wednesday, April 3 @ Kelowna 7:05 * If necessary
If the Kelowna Rockets go on a long and prosperous playoff run this spring, most of the journey—if not all—will be without the on-ice services of captain Colton Sissons. The 6-foot-1, 190-pound North Vancouver native will be sidelined for the next eight to 12 weeks after suffering an undisclosed upper body injury last Friday night in Vancouver against the Giants. The only way Sissons might see action again this season is if the Rockets advance as far as the Western Hockey League final or the Memorial Cup in May. It was a bittersweet weekend for Sissons who, on Sunday afternoon, was named both the Rockets’ MVP and top defensive forward at the club’s annual awards banquet. Sissons, who also missed 10 games in December due to injury is, understandably, disappointed with the latest turn in his junior career. “It’s devastating,” said Sissons, who scored 28 goals and 67 points in 61 games this season. “I thought the worst timing for an injury was around Christmas, but I think this one takes the cake because I believe so much in our team. We have something special in there, a team that could go all the way.” Still, thanks to the club’s depth and leadership group, Sissons believes the Rockets—who won a franchise record 52
games this season—have what it takes to compete for a WHL title. “I trust everybody on our team and we’re lucky that we have that depth,” Sissons said. “We have great leadership beyond myself, they’re going take over and do a great job I know that, and everybody’s going to step their game up to a whole new level, and they’re capable of doing that.” Rockets’ GM Bruce Hamilton says while losing Sissons is a significant blow to his team, the club has proven before it can win in the face of adversity, even in the absence of a key player. “Anytime you lose a guy like that it’s tough, you’re losing one of your best players,” Hamilton said. “But if you go back to the Christmas period when we lost him for about a month, we only lost one game. “So I think the guys who are healthy have to band together. This is where our three overage guys have to come to the front, and guys like Myles Bell, Zach Franko and Ryan Olsen will need to be the difference in games,” added Hamilton, “not like when it was just Colton.” Even though he won’t be on the ice with his teammates through most of the playoffs, Sissons vows he’ll still be providing support and leadership. “I’m still going to be very much a part of the leadership group, I’m going to be around and be supportive for the guys, but at the same time I’m not going to be a distraction,” he said. “Whatever
W T
the coaches want me to do, I’ll do it…any way I can help this team.”
ROCKETS VS SEATTLE
With one of the most impressive regular seasons in franchise history in the books, the Rockets begin their post-season trek this weekend at Prospera Place. The seventh-seeded Seattle Thunderbirds will take on the second-place Rockets Friday and Saturday in the first two games of the Western Conference quarterfinal series. Face off both nights is 7:05 p.m. The Rockets took three of four regular season meetings from the Thunderbirds, outscoring them 18-8 in the process. After a record-setting 2012-13 campaign, which included 52 victories, a 23-game home ice winning streak and a B.C. Division crown, veteran forward Myles Bell counts himself among the many Rockets who are anxious to get the playoffs under way. “It’s tough to describe the feeling in our room, but we’ve got something really special going this year and we want to keep it going,” said Bell, 19, who led the team in scoring with 38 goals and 93 points. “I think everyone’s really excited for the next step, the push into playoffs. We feel like we’ve got the team to accomplish a lot, so I think we’re ready and excited for this.” Games 3 and 4 will be played Tuesday and Wednesday in Kent, Wash., with a fifth game, if needed, back in Kelowna on Saturday, March 30.

Merritt 41-39. Both the Warriors’ Briggs and the Cents’ Tyler Steel made several big saves to keep their respective teams in the game. “It was a good playoff game,” Warriors’ coach Rylan Ferster said of Saturday’s win. “They’re a good team over there and I’m sure we’re going to see more than that yet. They’re good and they were a shot away from beating us here (Saturday).” Game 5 of the series is slated for Thursday at Royal LePage Place. Game 6, if necessary, will be played Friday in Merritt.

Halvorson’s No. 34 back in Sun lineup The memory of former Okanagan Sun running back Jeff Halvorson will be honoured this season as the B.C. Football Conference team brings his No. 34 jersey back into circulation. A Sun player will be allowed to wear the jersey each season under the following conditions: “The No. 34 Okanagan Sun jersey may only be worn by a Sun captain to exemplify the standards of leadership and dedication to football and teammates.” Before his untimely death during a Sun practice on Sept. 9, 2004 the Grande Prairie Composite High School grad was well on his way to shattering the Canadian Junior Football League rushing record. Just hours before his death he was named the CJFL offensive player of
Jeff Halvorson the week for his efforts in the previous Saturday’s game. Following Jeff’s passing, the number No. 34 was taken out of circulation by the club. Halvorson’s road white jersey still sits framed in the Sun clubhouse while his parents have the same framed home brown version. His father, Don, suggested not retiring the jersey when it was discussed
in 2004 as his son wore the number because he was a fan of Walter Payton. It was also the high school number worn by his older brother Jason where the siblings grew up in Grande Prairie. Don felt that had the number 34 already been retired by the club before Jeff had arrived he would never have been worn a number that was important to him. The Okanagan Sun has decided to bring No. 34 back into circulation in 2013 but also to honour the last player to wear it. Jeff Halvorson was a team captain while he played for the Okanagan Sun. His leadership on and off the field exemplified what a player would hope for in a teammate. The No. 34 jersey will continue for the Okanagan Sun in his spirit and others like him.

feeling like we had a championship caliber team and now we get the chance to play for one,” said Rockets GM David Michaud. “Its exciting to have all the work rewarded.” The Rockets will take on the Vancouver Northwest Giants in the BCMML championship series beginning Friday night at Burnaby Winter Club. Game 2 goes Saturday, with a third game, if needed, scheduled for Sunday morning. The Rockets booked their ticket in the final thanks to a two-game sweep of the hometown Cariboo Cougars over the weekend in Prince George.
Against the league’s highest-scoring offense, the Rockets executed a pair of solid defensive efforts into one-goal victories and the team’s first trip to the final since 2008. In the series opener Friday night, the Rockets edged the Cougars 4-3 as Spencer Hewson notching the game winner. The following afternoon, Hewson played hero again scoring the decisive goal in the first overtime session as the Rockets triumphed 4-3 to finish Cariboo off in two games. “We knew that we would have to adjust our style and focus on our own end, we were confident that we had the skill
to bury our chances when they came to us,” said Michaud. “I’m not sure I would have predicted a sweep, but we will certainly take it.” As for the Giants, Michaud said his team will need to be in top form to challenge for the BCMML title. “Now we will go to work and prepare for a▼ Giants team that is arguably the top midget team in the country,” Michaud said. “With four games against them already in the books, we know the challenges they present, but we also feel like we know what it takes to have success against them. Its going to be a great championship series.”

ROLLY & RONNO ID#291772
ADULTS DEGU CROSS MALE
Rolly and Ronno came to us by unfortunate circumstance. But they are here now and happy as can be! They came in together and seem to get along great. Degu’s don’t do well on their own so we are asking that they be adopted together. These little guys seem to be friendly and appear to have been handled lots before. If you have owned a Degu before, or have done the research and decided that your home would be a good fit, then come down to the Kelowna shelter and meet these cute little guys!
Adoption Information
SOPHIA
CHANDY ID#259064
ID#291567
ADULT DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR CROSS SPAYED FEMALE
My name is Faith and I came to the shelter with my sister Hope. I am a little on the shy side, (it took me a little while to come out of my shell) but am very quick to come over and shower you in love. My sister and I have been together our whole lives, and do wonderful together so if you are interested in two cats please consider us! Due to my shy nature I would be best in a home with no young children to stress me out. If you want a cat who loves to cuddle and bond with, look no further.
ID#279830
ADULT RABBIT REX CROSS NEUTERED MALE
Because Chandy came to the Shelter as a stray, we know nothing of his history. That being said, he is quite friendly. He loves servings of his Romaine lettuce and carrots and doesn’t mind being handled. He is already neutered. Chandy doesn’t like the company of other rabbits nor cats. We would like to see him go to an experienced rabbit owner. He really needs a permanent, loving home away from the Shelter because he’s been in our care for over a year - yes - over a year!!! If you have any questions or would like to meet him, please speak with the Kelowna SPCA Shelter Staff for an introduction!
ADULT BORDER COLLIE CROSS GERMAN SHEPHERD - NEUTERED MALE
By making the BC SPCA your first adoption option you are helping to
ensure that great animals find new homes and have a happy life that they deserve. So many of the animals that come into our care have been surrendered by their previous guardians for different reasons, but deserve a second chance at a new beginning.
FAITH
JAX
ID#291589
Jax is a very nice dog waiting for his new home - is it yours? He seems to be a very social dog who would do well in an active home. He is just getting used to walking on a leash but picking it up quickly and should have it mastered in no time. He has not been exposed to cats or children. The Border Collie breed is energetic and very intelligent and we believe Jax has those qualities. Basic obedience classes would be a bonding experience for Jax and his new family. If you already have a resident dog we require you to bring him/her to the Shelter to do a meet and greet. The Staff would also be delighted to have your whole family meet this wonderful dog one-on-one.
1 YR 10 MTHS DOMESTIC MEDIUM HAIR CROSS SPAYED FEMALE
I was found as a neighborhood stray and brought into the shelter by a kind lady once it was clear no one owned me. At first I was scared of everything but the staff worked with me to come out of my hiding place and realize people mean good things. Now I am comfortable and will meet you at the door! I love to hide under blankets for comfort. I have weight to lose after fending for myself with a ravenous appetite. I am a happy cat and will come over and ‘hop’ against your legs. I don’t mind being petted but am unsure about my head. I would do best in a quiet home with no children and an experienced family with time for me and understands my quirks. I am a staff favorite!
ADULT BOXER, BORDER COLLIE CROSS - NEUTERED MALE
Mickey was surrendered to the Shelter in order for us to find him a more suitable home. He is a young dog who loves to go running and walking. Plus, he still needs to burn off all the excess energy. If he does not, he may get into trouble by digging. But that can be a bonding experience between you and he. He has learned some manners and definitely food motivated. He was described by his previous owners as friendly, playful, outgoing, affectionate, loyal and also protective. He is good in the car and has lived with older children. If you believe Mickey would be a god fit for your home, please ask the Kelowna Dog Staff to meet him one-on-one. He will quickly charm you and he’s handsome to boot!!!

ADULT DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR CROSS SPAYED FEMALE
I was found wondering the Richter area of town and a concerned person took me in. She brought me to a vet for an exam and to be spayed, and the SPCA took me in to hopefully be reunited with my family. I am now ready for adoption! I am a little scared of new surroundings (and other cats) so I am in a special room where people can socialize with me with minimal stress. I would thrive in a quiet home with a calm family who has time to bond with me. I am very loving when I feel relaxed and I will close my eyes and purr away!
CLOWIE
KHARMA
LIU KANG
ID#292345
ID#291939
ADULT DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR CROSS SPAYED FEMALE
Hi everyone! My name is Kharma and I was abandoned. I am a very sweet, cuddly little girl who loves to interact! I would suit any type of family as I seem to be very adaptable and personable. I would love the chance to be a wonderful addition to your family! If you would like to meet me, please ask Staff for an introduction.
My name is Clowie. I was surrendered when unfortunately my owner could no longer care for me. I am a very beautiful, little girl! As with most Guinea Pigs I can be a bit shy at first. You just need to gain my trust and then I won’t seem so fearful. I could use lots of socialization and attention since I am all alone. If you have done your research and think I might be a good addition to your family, then come down to the Kelowna Shelter and ask to meet me. I can’t wait to find my forever home!

ADULT DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR CROSS NEUTERED MALE
My name is Liu Kang and I was found as a stray. I am a VERY ACTIVE, ENERGETIC, young cat who has a zest for life! I am a Siamese/Oriental cross, so if you know your Siamese, I would be a great fit for you! Due to my high level of excitability a home with older children would suit me best. Even though I am in a room with other cats I don’t always play nice with them.

CAPITAL NEWS
CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen lighter spring fare Spring’s official arrival this week means we can officially turn our attention to lighter food, since there’s no longer a primitive need to pack on the lard to guard against the cold of deep winter. Well, you know what I mean. There is an urge to enjoy lighter food as spring sunshine, longer days and warmer temperatures pull us outside to enjoy the fresh air. Days and nights of equal hours with the spring equinox on March 20 will now turn to lengthening days and shorter nights in the run to the start of summer and the longest day of the year June 21, the summer solstice. With the longer days and warmer weather, we will begin enjoying more meals outside, even if it’s necessary to wear a sweater to do so. Lunch or an afternoon snack on the patio or deck could include some summery flavours with local B.C. greenhouse-grown tomatoes and herbs and B.C. salmon. You can just feel the heat of summer as you bite into a tasty bruschetta or salmon spread on toasty baguette slices or melba toast. Obviously there will actually be even more flavour in these bites as summer ripens the herbs and vegetables in our own gardens and tomatoes can be plucked warm from the vine, chopped up and combined with fresh herbs to top our bread, so don’t toss out these recipes. Try them again deep in summer. Outdoor food should be simple and easy to eat with your fingers, so bite-sized toast rounds topped with a multitude of bright flavours is perfect patio food, whether it’s spring outside, or summer. Pair them with some of our excellent local VQA wines, like the fruity Okanagan pinot gris and riesling or buttery chardonnays; or try the salmon with one of our spicy pinot noirs. Flavours and appetites are heightened by eating outdoors, so don’t be stingy. For lots more ideas for food to be eaten outdoors, in the fist, pick up a copy of my book, Jude’s Kitchen, which includes informative wine pairing tips from one of Canada’s top wine writers, John Schreiner. It’s available at bookstores, online or at many local wine shops and boutiques.
Variations on Bruschetta
This perennial Italian favourite can be re-created with many small changes, to make quite different appetizers that are both healthful and low in fat, as well as tasting fresh and being full of flavour. In addition to the following variations, you could add minced garlic and olive oil to the topping as well as flavouring the bread with it; and/or you could add balsamic vinegar or fresh lemon juice to the tomato topping mixture, or different fresh herbs. French baguette olive oil garlic cloves
OPTION ONE/CLASSIC:
meaty plum tomatoes green onions fresh basil sea salt and black pepper shredded mozzarella (optional)
OPTION TWO:
meaty plum tomatoes sweet onions fresh basil sea salt and black pepper shredded fresh parmesan Slice a small baguette and rub with a cut clove of garlic, then drizzle or brush with a little good quality olive oil. Roast at 350 F for about 15 minutes or so, or until crusty. Prepare the topping of your choice by finely chopping the meatiest parts of the tomatoes, minced onion and fresh herbs such as basil. Season with sea salt and freshly-ground black pepper and top with shredded cheese, if using. You may also run it under the broiler for a moment to melt the cheese, if you wish. Serve immediately so the toast doesn’t get soggy.

Smoked Salmon Spread This makes a light and tasty spread for melba toast or toasted slices of a small baguette. Serve it in a shallow dish, topped with the coarsely-minced vegetables. If you have leftover poached fresh, wild B.C. salmon, combine some smoked and some of the fresh salmon for a different flavour. This is reminiscent of the French rilletttes, traditionally made with shredded meat combined with fat, but which is also made with salmon poached in white wine and shallots.
8 oz. (227 g) smoked salmon 4 green onions 2 tbsp.(30 ml) mayonnaise 1 tbsp. (30 ml) lemon juice 1 tbsp. (15 ml) dry white wine fresh-ground mixed peppercorns 1/4 c. (60 ml) sweet red onion 1/4 c. (60 ml) plum tomato 2 tbsp. (30 ml) capers Flake the lightly-smoked salmon; finely mince the green onions and combine lightly with the salmon, mayonnaise, lemon juice and dry white wine. Avoid over-mixing or it will become a paste. Season to taste with fresh-ground mixed peppercorns. You might also like a pinch of fresh herbs such as tarragon, if available. Coarsely mince the onion and tomato, avoiding the juice from the tomato. Combine with the capers and top the serving dish of salmon with the vegetable mixture. Serves 4 or so.
